About Me

we cross more than genres, from the news to playschool, 'operating' at a level where our originals sound like covers & our covers sound like originals...that's art... Alot of this music is an echo of doco's, detailing the devil's work,& calling for a response. truth is stranger than fiction & definitely more relevant.... just see if you can watch any of the doco's listed below & not be stirred... www.roxstop-action.org "FLOW" touchingly common people struggling against ruthless multi-national water monopolies "Old country/New country...the journey of a raft" awesome Kimberley dilemma.. see blogs & links "Garbage Warriors" ... " you can test( nuclear)bombs, but we can't test (sustainable) houses!!!" "Blowin' in the wind" & "Hard Rain" d. brabury frontline films "the Groundtruth" on military "tactics" "Sharkwater"...( & whalewars from seashepherd) we protested alot, at unsustainable personal expense, but now, with the new vocalist, we sit around larfing and playin' songs about humans..... & we're open to input... obviously a percussionist would be good, but themes, concepts, a guitarist & suggestions are also welcome...i know, that's asking for it.....well what about a muso, then? latest featured music on a sweet little clip about unSUStainable food miles & local/global dilemma http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6g8d80LgiXU previously, the dark,silly past of the hoWARd government gave rise to lots of homegrown protest documenting threats to a scared & scarred,not sacred future .... doco preview; http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3060031377252577763 .. in context,the song 'Shoalwater Shame' doesn't seem nearly as corny as blasting some of the world's most pristine marine environment with (no E.I.S.&) SECRET weapons,every year till 2018...(thanks hoWARd-don't remember voting for that),next major war rehearsal 2009...check www.peaceconvergence.com for more about coming together peacefully,constructively,rather than genocidal suicide. those new blastholes in the endangered (i'll say) reef now make it easier for U.S. nuclear warships to play wargames here.. one seditious evening, niki started playin Dr.Zam's bass, awakening primal punk urges in the rainbow region,unfortunately during newshour...the 20th anniversary of Chernobyl meltdown.. now most of our fans are in genre-confused russia & remote alaskan provinces to as far south as outer reaches of ontario ...voluntary outcasts relating to songs from a rainforest backdeck,home recorded & streamed onto www.numberonemusic.com/backdeckrehearsal (what a kind site),... we're getting more musical now i've stopped watching the news & dave bradbury films, www.frontlinefilms.com.au & studying the works of helen caldicott,ian lowe, www.nukefreeaus.org tim flannery,al gore & scientists & activists intent on saving the planet urgently.... activists like gareth smith who exercise human rights protesting against human wrongs we accept...... tho they've left their mark on my heart,in the same proportion as they've revealed to me the desecration of the planet,the genocide of caretaker cultures,the explosion of desperate, competitive, all-consuming, dysfunctional planetary rape...in the name of good sneaky politics,economics &religion ..so we celebrate our protest when we can ....little appeals for manKIND to .. face itself effacelessly & care & have fun, stop raping the future, helping humanity learn to wipe it's smelly arse..& stop generating millions of years of nuclear waste/suddenflashHolocaust....red pill or blue pill??...if you don't know, you're on the blue ones...and your sense of smell is going...maybe gone... to the point where cigarettes, deodorant, Roundup, G.M.food , D.U. weapons & old growth pulp mills seem desirable...ecosus is setting in....& the humans are revolting...larf or cry or ??? check SHARKWATER for a wake-up call or,when all else fails, including the directions, just breathe for simple joy...good luck with that....
